COLLA R'AND C UFF HOLDER FOR LUGGAGE-CARRIERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 513,770, dated January 30, 1894.

' Application filed November 18,1892. Serial no. 452,416. (No model.)

' others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to a collar and culf holder for luggage carriers, such as valises, satchels, hand bags, &c., and has for its object to provide a holder that can be either a part of the luggage carrier or can be an article of manufacture and adaptable to any luggage carrier now in use.

Another object isto provide a holder for.

collars and cults that is formed in foldable sections, that shall admit of the holder being placed in any luggage carrier either small or large without breaking or soiling the articles contained in the holder.

Another object is to provide a holder for collar's and cuffs, having foldable sides that envelop the articles, said foldable sides being provided with catches that secure the articles in the holder without a possibility of their coming out or being broken or soiled.

Another object is to provide a holder for collars and cuffs for luggage carriers that shall be simple in construction, effective in operation, and that shall be of the least possible parts, so as to have all the room possible in the luggage carrier for other articles.

With these objects in View the invention consists in the parts and combination of parts as shown in the drawings, described in the specification,and pointed out in the claims.

, In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective View of a satchel with my collar and cuff holder inplacejshown folded,this view illustrating the holder as secured in the satchel andforminga part thereof. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation through one section of the satchel illustrating the side sections of the holder in section, one being closed, the other open. Fig.3 is afront elevation of the holder when constructed for insertion in the valise already in use, one end and the central section being open to admit of the insertion of the articles the other end being shown closed. Fig.4is a rear view of the holder shown in Fig. 3, the same being closed,and ready for insertion in the baggage carrier. Fig. 5is an edge view of the holder as shown in Fig. 4.

1 designates the satchel, valise, or other luggage in which it is desired to carry the collars and cuffs,which is of the ordinary or of any pre ferred construction in which are secured the upper and lower flaps 2 and 3 respectively, of the main portion of the holder, there beinga catch at for securing the flaps together. The flaps are formed preferably of leather, and are sewed into the luggage carrier, preferably in the bottom, as shown, as this is the stiffest part of the carrier and consequently the articles contained in the holder are not liable to become broken,although the flaps maybe secured on the top or even at the front or rear side. As the collars are designed to be placed in the holder without folding, and as the collars are invariably longer than the ordinary luggage carrier, to fully incase and protect collars, I provide upper and lower endflaps 5 and 6 respectively, there being a catch 4 by which the flaps are secured together. Thus to carry collars and cuffs conveniently in a luggage carrier without breaking or soiling the same it is only necessary to unfasten the catches 4, which may be any preferred form of catch, open the flaps 2, 3, 5, and 6, and insert the articles, then fold the flaps and fasten the same when the articles are out of the way and the luggage carrier is in condition for packing.

Thus far I have described the holder as forming a part of the luggage carrier but I will now proceed to describe the holder constructed as an article of manufacture, and ready forinsertion in any carrier now in use. In this construction 7 designates the back of the holder, there being a flap 8 to the main portion of the same, said flap corresponding to flaps 2 and 3, a main portion 9 embracing the articles and a portion 10 provided with a catch 4, folding over the other side and being locked by the catch 4:. l1 designates the end sections which bend at 12, there being pockets 13 in which the ends of the collars and cults are placed, said pockets being closed by means of flaps 14, corresponding to flaps 5 and 6 secured by means of the catches 4;

To secure the collars and cuffs, flaps 8 and 14 are opened, the articles inserted by placing the ends in pockets 13. The flaps 2 are now closed and fastened by means of the catches 4. The holder is bent as in Fig.5 and is then inserted in the luggage carrier; occupying-the same position, and taking up as much room as the holder, forming a part of the carrier. It will be seen that I have formed two recesses in which catch 4 may be inserted, thereby compensating for diiferent quantities of articles, although it will be understood that I may have as many recesses as desired without departing from the spirit of my invention. It will also be seen that in large luggage carriers one end section may be omitted, the ends of the articles being contained in the central section, and one end section.

\Vhat I claim is 1. As a new article of manufacture, a collar and anti holder comprisingamain or back "portion, having pockets at each end, andend flaps adapted to overlap said pockets, and the main or central flaps for covering the central portion of the holder, the main or back portion being adapted to be bent at points between the central and end flaps so that the holder can be made to conform to a satchel.

2. As an article of manufacture, a collar and and holder comprising a main or back portion, having pockets at each end, and end flaps adapted to overlap said pockets, and the main or central flap for covering the central portion of the holder, said central flap having an extension adapted to be bent around the central portion, the main or back portion being adapted to be bent at points between the central and end flaps so that theholder can be made to conform to a satchel.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereby aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
